Some of the Best Holiday Gifts to Give to Those Who Love Belize

For those who love Belize or know someone who does. A bunch of these items would be perfect if you are planning your visit for the first time.

I’m going to start big and move on from there.

GoPro – I came to Belize for the very first time looking for ONLY sun and relaxation. I didn’t want to do a thing.

But I ended up snorkeling…3x in one week. Belize means some sort of action and adventure, stepping outside of your box.

So whether you want to snap some pics underwater with the sharks…or scuba diving with turtles, biking through San Pedro town (it can be a REAL adventure)…rappelling down a water fall or tubing underground in a cave, a GoPro is going to give you some crazy great footage.

People take some AMAZING photos.

I’ll leave it at just that for the gadgets…and keep it simpler and hopefully less expensive!

Rainbow Flops – After testing all kinds of flip flops in the sun, salt and rain of Belize, I’ve found Rainbow Flip Flops to be my favorite. You can read about my testing here.

Cotton Sarong – The perfect sarong is simple, not flashy, can be used as a towel or a wrap when you get out of the water and matches everything. I even bring one on the plane to use as a scarf, wrap, blanket and pillow. Wrap your lap top in it. It’s everything! And incredibly affordable.

I bought a simple one from J Crew (now sold out)

…but you can find some beautiful simple Turkish fabrics/towels online. Here on Amazon.

Whether it’s embroidery or an IPhone case or a water bottle, you can have EVERYTHING customized these days. Etsy is a treasure trove of artists. (Treasure trove for the first 10 minutes, black hole after your first hour on the site.)

Who hasn’t dreamed about living on an island. Departure Islands (on Etsy) does some beautiful modern graphic prints of my favorite island. OR pair it up with some more of his great prints. Stunning I think…

Tiburon Rum

Rum is the most popular liquor in Belize BY FAR — a by product of the very active sugar cane industry in the northern part of the country. Tiburon Rum is produced in Belize, has won a boat load of awards, is available in the USA! and is delicious when added to eggnog.

Rum is totally hip and how cool would this bottle look on your holiday liquor cart.

Actually…everything on this website it absolutely beautiful. Check out the journals and notebooks. Sigh!

Travel Cord Roll

I don’t know one person who could not use this. Cords for my Kindle, computer and IPhone are the #1 things that I either forget or misplace when traveling – even if it is just to town for the afternoon.

About Me

My name’s Rebecca and over TEN years ago (!) I moved from Manhattan, NYC (where I worked as a bond trader at Lehman Brothers) to San Pedro, Belize. Holy crap, what a change. I spent a full year deciding if Belize was right for me, over 3 years managing a sometimes gritty bar & restaurant and now over 3 years travelling, living and writing this blog. As you can imagine, I’ve seen the good, awesome, bad and the ugly (though not often). I’ve got lots to say and so here’s my website and my daily blog.

I originally set out to show you all sides of life on the island of Ambergris Caye and now it’s time to expand to the amazing country of Belize. So much to see in one tiny country.

For more information on how and why I moved here, an estimate of how much it costs to live in San Pedro and advice about packing and planning, check out my post series about my expat life.
